What is ModernTabs?

It is a library mod that adds a cross-platform solution for customizing any creative tab even further than what is currently possible on both NeoForge and Fabric.
Currently implemented features:

• individual tab sections with a configurable banner & overlay
• The banner and overlay sprite animation can be configured to animate continuously, on hover or even not animate at all.
• These sections can be configured to be collapsible
• customizable tab background sprite
• customizable tab button sprite (the texture behind the icon)
• Use any sprite as a tab icon without it having to be a registered item
• customizable tab title that can also be replaced by a sprite
• customizable scroll bar sprite
• a configurable search bar
• Any tab texture can be colored in a defined color. 
       If no texture is defined in most cases, the default texture will be used & colored.
• Support for custom element orientations (left, centered, right) for some tab elements
• KubeJs support since v1.5.0

The creative tab banners are inspired by the Create Aeronautics/Simulated mod and ModernTabs therefore based on its original code.

Showcase - Example Creative Tab

This is just one example of many options

This example creative tab is only enabled in the development enviroment and therefore exists for showcase only. 
That also means that it won't show up in a regular modpack.

Wiki

The wiki is now located on the linked wiki.
It shows you how to either implement ModernTabs in your own mod or as a modpack creator with KubeJs.

FAQ

Why another such mod that adds creative tab banners?

➔ I created this library so I can use it for some upcoming mods by me and therefore, I need both a supported NeoForge and Fabric version.
Additionly, it already contains many other features with the goal of making the creative tab easier to configure.

Will the Minecraft version x be supported?

➔ I will not backport it. If anyone plans on doing it, feel free to do it and if you want, you can create a pull request on GitHub. I might update it to newer versions in the future (but I will not guarantee it).
